The actor?

I know people argue they feel more exploited than ever but the same people also used to pirate music off Limewire.

You now pay Spotify $20/mo and the music industry has never been more democratic or accessible.

I think what people are really nostalgic for is 90's level BBS and Usenet community hosted on an open web, with widening residential broadband access. The actual tech in the W era was dismal.

If all it took for her to break bad was a information cascade on Twitter, what does this imply?

Really not my responsibility to fix how other people think

Frozen 2 (haven't seen ZT2, maybe also applies).

"Controlling what you can when things seem out of control", "do the next right thing", "water has memory" (???) is all meditation retreat/recovery support group material, felt really jarring the first time and each time since.

During peacetime the President's only real job is to compile status reports and come round to the House once a year by invitation only to summarize them. It's not a serious position and yet the media treats the President like they are the Boss of America

I'd have said "leadership" but the new right isn't led, in any real sense. Can you name an elected policy leader on the right? I can't.

But they all show up on Sunday shows and podcasts saying the same insane shit, because they all marinate in the same juice.

One of the reasons this is hard is the absence of left meta gaming capacity. The new right has benefactors, think tanks, ideologues, mass media, conferences, and has also dismantled or cowed the left versions of those things.
